terrible revenge. Poor, poor Morris
Much affected, Mr.. Madison returned to
aequaint his daughter with the sad par
ticulars and story of the crazy engineer.
The following day the poor maniac was
buried with honor, for Mr.. Madison would
have it so; and then the President and his
daughter Wended their way hOmeward
after having received a promise from
George Coventry to visit them in a few
weeks; for Mr.. Madison had learned from
the young man that he belonged to a good
family In New Haven, but, having been
rather wild while yet IN his teens, had run
away and gone 70 California to seek his
fortune, and, having found It, was return
ing to his parental roof-tree, as q prodigal
son. to beg forgiveness for the fOllies Of
his earlier years.
True to his promise George Coventry
sought the home of the MadisOns, and his
visit extended over a weeks duration; for
between the beautiful Oracle and her brave
preserver a feeling Of true love had sprung
up, which had found place IN the heart Of
the young man Eat first sight, for lie con-
fesssd that he had loved her from the mo-
ment he saw her on the train. and had only
stopped at R when he suddenly dis
covered from the smOking-oa car that her
father had gotten OF there.
1t was a pure love match; ran smoothly
through lOyerhOOd; and as married peo-
pie, no two happier beings live than do
these two, whose wOOing was brought about
through the wild act of the crazy engineer.

Indivsdssag EFort

The conversion of the world is the
aim of the church of Christ. It is not,
however, the work of a day or a cen
tury. It is the greatest possible task,
and, therefore, it Is a duty. If we stop
to inquire what difficulties lie in the
way, and to estimate the number of
years necessary to make the kingdoms
of this world the kingdoms of Christ,
we shall simply discourage our
selves and gain no compromising adj
vantage. If the world is to be con
verted, as the Scriptures intimate, it is
plain to the most ordinary understand
ing that it Is to be converted by indi-
vidual effort and individual faithfulness.
The humblest person IN the church has
his part in the great work, and all that
is needed to hasten the grand consum-
nation Of the worlds history is that
each believer do his work hour by
hour, day by day, as it comes to him.
It is because there are so many lazy
and Indifferent Christians-men and
women who do not abide in the faith,
who turn away from their duty like
cowards-that the church advances so
slowly. Let each determine to do his
duty as God gives him to see his duty,
and the church VIII receive a mighty
impulse inits career Of conquest.-TH&

What SaYages Nh 81 ii.

Among some of the Pacific islanders
hens eggs are saved to sell to ships,
but are never eaten by the natives.
Straw berries and raspberries are found
but they are never eaten.
The Esquimaux generally dislike all
the preparations of vegetables that the
explorers bring among them. They
think 1t Is a perverted appetite that
Graves anything but meat.
The natives of New Guinea cook a
few cereals in their own fashion, but
they male very wry faces when they at
tempted to eat some fresh baked bis
cults that the missionaries gave them.
They finally wrapped their biscuits up
IN paper, intending to keep them as
curiOsities.
On some of the islands of the Malay
Archipelago there are hundreds of ma
tives whose only industry IS to collect
the edible birds'-nests that are esteemed
a great dainty by the Chinese. They
wouldn't dream of eating them them
selves. and they think the Chinese must
be very peculiar people to use that sort
of food.
There are q number of tribes in
Africa whose chief riches are their herds
Of cattle, but who never drank a drop
of cows milk in their lives. They
think the milk of their herds is for
calves and not for human beings, and
they are Disguised at the idea that any
body should consider it a proper article
Of food. A few tribes near the great
lakes think that it is a spectacle worth
seeing to look at the missionaries milk
ing COWS and drinking the milk.
The Esquimaux near LittletOn Island
once discovered a supply of bread and
salt pork that Dr.. Kane had cached,
and they proceeded to enjoy a feast at
the white mems expense. They liked
the salt pork and did not leave a NOR
sci Of it. This was probably the first
chance they had ever had to vary the
mOnOtOny of their meat diet. They
nibbled the bread a little, promptly
pronounced it a failure, and told Dr.
Kane afterWard that they would as soon
swallow so much sand.
A tribe living not far from Port Nor
esky, New Guinea, that think boiled
snakes are to be preferred to roast pig,
draw the line at sugar. When they
saw DR.. Chalmers, their first white Wis
itOr, sWeetening his tea one morning
they asked him for some of his salt
Dr.. Chalmers told them that it was not
salt, but they were incredulous, and so
he gave some sugar TO one Of the ma
tlves- "He began eating it, says Dr..
Chalmers, "and the look Of disgust on
his face was worth seeing. He rose up,
went out, spat ont what he had in his
mouth, and threw the remainder
away" Then he told the crowd what
horrible stuff it was, and they were sat
isfied to take his word for it without
trying 1t themselves

Cigarette-smOkfng New York Girls.

Cigarette smoking Is almost as preva-
lent among the girls as among the
youths of New York. A certain pOpu-
lar actress is such an incessant smoker
that her fingers are almost stained
black from the burning tobacco and
rice paper. She smokes cigars when
cigarettes are not handy. She is posi-
lively addicted to the weed, so much so
that she always smokes at the dinner
table. For a long time L noticed little
spots of fire late in the evening in the
windows on the opposite side of the
street in which I lived. at last I saw
the two spots Of fire close together in
one of the windows, and ripples of
female laughter reached me from that
particular window. / strained my eyes
and saw that the two spots of fire as
we'll as the laughter were produced by
two girls. The spots, 1 may explain,
were the lighted ends of cigarettes. 1
was not long in finding out that the
other spots in the block indicated the
presence Of girls smoking cigarettes
They were taking their puffs
on the quiet. They had put out the
lights so that they could not be seen,
and stuck their heads ont Of the windows
so that the fumes would be carried away.
Not all the girl smokers buy their cigar
cites ready-made. Many have become
so adroit in making them that they buy
tobacco and rice paper and roll them
themselves. They smoke the mild, arc
matte Turkish tobacco, and there are a
dozen places where they can step in and
buy either cigarettes made up, or to-
baccO and paper. Some make no bones
that the purchases are for themselves,
while others, who have not grown blase,
say they want them for their brothers,
IN the innocent belief that they fool the
clerks. Several kinds of cigarettes are
made with mOuth-pieces, largely for the
purpose Of catching female trade Rice
paper sticks to the lips. The mouth
pieces, which are made Of heavily cal
erended paper. do not. The manufact-
ure Of cigarettes is increasing, but only
because the demand is increasing. Three
or four huge factories have recently
been put up in New York.

GOvERNoR HILL OF New York has
signed what is known as the Saturday
half-hoiday bill, which now becomes a
law of the State. It makes a legal
holiday of every Saturday from noon
to midnight, and affects business in all
respects so far as legal purposes are
concerned. This law was brought
about in response to a public sentiment
that working men of all classes would
be much better of If there were fewer
hours of toll in the week and more op-
portunities for rest and recreation. Tor
the last few years the leading business
houses Of New York have been aecus-
toned to close at noon on Saturdays
during the summer months, and Broad
way after u o'clock has been for miles
as quiet as Sunday. with all stores
closed and clerks and other employees
away enjoying a few hours Of fresh air
and outdoor recreation This new law
is intended to make legal the observ-
ance Of this half day, affecting banks
and other places Of business in which
legal regulations prevail OF course it
does not make obligatory upon any the
observance of the day, but it is the first
step toward securing that end. En-
plOyers have come to learn that quite
as much and quite as good work can be
obtained from their employees by giving
them few hours extra rest each week
as by trying them to the very limit Of
human endurance. The haIf-holiday

servance Of Sunday, and much of the
Dissertation of the latter day viii be
avoided by the opportunity afforded
for tired humanity to rest and enjoy
outdoor resorts on the preceding day.
The half-holiday has come to stay.
The sooner it is introduced into all
kinds Of business where practicable
the better it VIII be for all classes Of
society.
